Have you ever looked at states with straight border lines and wondered why they were straight and how true those straight lines were?  I have.  I want to play with those straight lines.

I want to buy property right on the line in one state, then buy the adjoining property in the other state and try to find a loop hole to join them together as part of 1 state.

If you get really creative, you can start to form letters out of the new properties, enough to spell something fun.  Eventually, they’d have to draw up a new map and include your “revisions” to state lines.  WIN.

oh, and have I ever told you about my idea to run a marathon through 4 states near the mason dixon line?  That’d be awesome.

We all grow up, but some of us never leave home.  Some of us will always remain close to where we grew up.  It’s not a bad thing either way, sometimes it’s born out of necessity.  I know a lot of people who moved so far away from home, but they ended up moving back.

If you’re doing are doing a great job, or are contributing positively more than others, you get the privilege of speaking bluntly and saying how it is.

How much surface area would it take to create the tallest mountain manually?  I think this would be a good task for some place in Colorado, since they’re already so elevated.  You could build this mountain and design it to have a wide road that wraps around it, and depending how long it turns out to be, you could have marathons, sky gliding, street luge competitions, or even some crazy sort of triathalon where you run to it, bike up it, and repel down it.  You could create tourist pull overs and places to eat and check out the view.  We’re totally covering some dangerous ground close to the Tower of Babel, but we’ve go the technology and big trucks these days!  We could have it done in a matter of weeks!  Heck, while we’re at it, we might even end up creating the deepest hole just by digging out the dirt needed!  BONUS!

It’s important to dream, but know what’s a dream and what you’re just not working hard enough to achieve.
